Reclaiming Ourselves: Destigmatizing Addiction & Self-harm and Redefining Self-care :: S1EP2

In this episode we delve into the transformative power of self-discovery and self-care through the lens of connection and community. Together, they challenge the isolating narrative of Western culture, highlighting how our journey towards healing is not just personal but deeply communal and embodied. They explore the critical role of belonging, the cycle of shame and isolation, and how redefining recovery and self-care on our own terms can lead to profound personal and communal transformation. Join us as we discuss breaking through barriers of addiction and self-harm with compassion, playfulness, and an invitation to redefine what healing means to each of us.
